Let’s Go Fly a #KITE #music #AprilA2Z

Posted on April 13, 2015

I interrupt the regular Monday Music (sorta) post  to bring you this special announcement…. I preëmpt all routine posts to bring you my contributions to this month’s largest blogging event. Don’t worry, normal posting will resume next month like clock work (I hope). Meanwhile, I invite you to stick around to enjoy the #AprilA2Z fun!


I remember when our girls were really small. I think they were 2 and 4. Our church gave all the children kites in Sunday School. We made it a standard date after Sunday morning services to go to the mountains ~ change of clothes and picnic lunch in toll.

We found a large open field on the North Carolina side of the Smoky’s near the Visitor’s Center. Our attempt to get those kites airborne was a miserable flop and DD#2 lost her pacifier in that field. Talk about a major killjoy!

Of course now this memory brings nothing, but keen thoughts of a simply times. We get a kick out of talking about how a baby bear found DD#2’s pacie and is all the happier for his new keepsake.

One thing I wished we had tried with the kids is to make our own home-made kite. I found this klever (pull in the fangs, the misspelling is on purpose) video showing how easy it is to do.

 

 

Have you made a home-made kite? Do you like to fly kites? What is your favorite kite flying memory?

    I have not tried to make a DIY version yet. But mine always get new kites in Spring and their 3 newest ones just arrived last week. We have a big open field across from our house that is perfect. (even though we have a lost a few to the tall trees surrounding it, and few rooftops!)

    Let’s Go Fly A Kite was always one of my favourite parts of Mary Poppins when I was young. After the dancing penguins – of course! 🙂

      Mary Poppins is a fun movie. I’m very interested in seeing Saving Mr. Banks just for this reason. Dancing penguins? Like as in Happy Feet? My SIL loves that movie!

    When I was a kid we always made our own kites. And had so much fun flying them. I don’t know if I would remember how. But thanks for the tutorial!

    I don’t have memories of flying a kite as a kid, but I do remember my stepdaughter wanting to fly one, so we flew one in the parking lot of a restaurant where we were waiting to meet her mom!

    I don’t remember ever flying a kite or building one… I had a friend with a jolly green giant huge kite it took the two of us to keep it flying… does that count?

      Sure, helping to fly a kite counts! Other than trying to fly kites with our kiddos, I do remember giving it a shot myself when I was young and I never got the it off the ground. I don’t think it was a very windy day, so maybe that’s why. 🙁

    hee hee … When I lived in the San Francisco East Bay area, I was on the 14th floor of a condo building that overlooked San Francisco Bay. Every Spring, there is a kite festival in the People’s Republic of Berserkley and I could see it from the balcony of my condo. The kite festival is about the only thing the People’s Republic of Berserkley has to recommend itself …
